====================================================== SPAA 2015 Call for Papers ====================================================== 27th ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA 2015) June 13-15, 2015 Portland, Oregon, USA http://www.spaa-conference.org This year, SPAA will be part of the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) General FCRC information is available at http://fcrc.acm.org ====================================================== Important Dates: Submission deadlines: - Abstract: January 14, 11:59pm EST - Full versions: January 16, 11:59pm EST Rebuttal period: March 4-5 Notification: March 23 Camera-ready: April 21 ====================================================== Contributed papers are sought in all areas of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing any computation system that can perform multiple operations or tasks simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - parallel and distributed algorithms - parallel and distributed data structures - green computing & power-efficient architectures - management of massive data sets - parallel complexity theory - parallel and distributed architectures - multi-core architectures - instruction level parallelism and VLSI - compilers and tools for concurrent programming - supercomputing architecture and computing - transactional memory hardware and software - game theory and collaborative learning - routing and information dissemination - resource management and awareness - peer-to-peer systems - mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks - robustness, self-stabilization, and security - synergy of parallelism in algorithms, programming, and architecture Conference presentations will have two formats: Regular presentations will be allotted a 25-minute talk and up to 10 pages in the proceedings. This format is intended for contributions reporting original research, submitted exclusively to this conference. Brief announcements will be allotted a 10-minute talk and a 2-page abstract in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief communications, which may be published later in other conferences. Every regular paper is eligible for the best paper award. The program committee may decline to make this award or may split the award among multiple papers. Submission: Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to submit their manuscript electronically. To submit electronically, visit http://www.spaa-conference.org for instructions. This is the preferred method of submission. Authors unable to submit electronically should contact the program chair Kunal Agrawal at [log in to unmask] to receive instructions on how to proceed. Submissions for regular presentations should include an introduction understandable to a nonspecialist including motivation and previous work, and a technical exposition directed to a specialist. A submission should not exceed 10 double-column pages in 9-point font, including figures, tables, and references. More details may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to be read at the discretion of the program committee. A submission for brief announcements should be no longer than two double-column pages in 9-point font. Rebuttal Period: There will be a rebuttal period in which the authors can point out misunderstandings or comment on critical questions that PC members may have. The rebuttal period will take place on March 4-5. ====================================================== Program Committee: Umut Acar, Carnegie Mellon University Grey Ballard, Sandia National Labs Petra Berenbrink, Simon Fraser University Dave Dice, Oracle Labs Jeremy Fineman, Georgetown University Pierre Fraigniaud, University of Paris 7 Seth Gilbert, National University of Singapore Rachid Guerraoui, EPFL MohammadTaghi HajiAghayi, University of Maryland Maurice Herlihy, Brown University Martin Hoefer, MPI Saarbrücken Peter Kling, University of Pittsburgh Bradley Kuzsmaul, MIT Angelina Lee, Washington University in St. Louis Ryan Newton, Indiana University Gopal Pandurangan, University of Houston Michael Spear, Lehigh University Cliff Stein, Columbia University Kanat Tangwongsan, Mahidol University Sivan Toledo, Tel Aviv University Uzi Vishkin, University of Maryland ====================================================== Conference Committee: Program Chair Kunal Agrawal, Washington University in St. Louis General Chair Guy Blelloch, Carnegie Mellon University Secretary Christian Scheideler, University of Paderborn Treasurer David Bunde, Knox College Publicity Chair Jeremy Fineman, Georgetown University ############################ To unsubscribe from the SPAA list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.CGI?SUBED1=SPAA&A=1
